LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WISCORPS AND THE MYRICK PARK CENTER OCCUPY THE STOLEN LANDS OF THE HO-CHUNK, DAKOTA, AND MENOMINEE PEOPLE. WE HONOR THE PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR THE LAND, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. RECOGNIZING OUR SHARED HISTORY AND THIS CONNECTION, JOIN US AS WE LEARN TO BETTER CARE FOR EACH OTHER AND THE LAND.
What is a Land Acknowledgement Statement?
A Land Acknowledgement is a formal statement that recognizes the unique and enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories (Honor Native Land Guide Resource (insert citation)). While an acknowledgement alone is a small gesture, through its continued use and in a combination with a meaningful action plan, it can be an educational tool that helps repair and build new relationships, offering recognition and respect, while highlighting new perspectives.
